Mink result

[lamaha 7]

Well guys,

I bagged my first mink, much of the info and technique was gleaned from here so a big thanks to you all!

The client is well chuffed.

He was caught using a double ended mink/squirrel live trap and boy was he swearing when i checked it this morning. Dispatched with an air rifle on site. The bait was prawns and cat food. One and a half weeks wait.

The fenn mrk 6s and covers were not successful so we have removed them, but kept the live traps in place as another mink has been seen.

We have recently had very swollen rivers and streams, has this increased chances of a catch?

Thanks again

good stuff...I know from experience that they can be difficult to trap. Swollen rivers will push them out to other areas for sure

Good result. Will be doing much the same myself, soon. Again, using some great info from this site.
